Context Menu HELiOS (PDM in HiCAD)

When you right-click a part in the drawing or the part name in the ICN, a context menu will be displayed. Go to the HELiOS menu item to open the HELiOS sub-menu. If, for instance, you right-click a 3-D part, the HELiOS 3-D Part context menu will be displayed:

The menu contains the following functions:

	Delete assignment This function enables you to delete the article master assignment to the active part. Only the assignment will be deleted, the part will remain.
Product structure
	Transfer structure, one level This function transfers the HiCAD part structure of an individual part (one level) to database attributes of the HELiOS product structure.
	... all sub-part levels This function transfers the HiCAD part structure of an individual part (all sub-part levels) to database attributes of the HELiOS product structure.
Derive part structure
	Derive part structure, via CAD structure Use this function to derive individual parts in the drawing by parts derived from them. When you activate the function, a selection dialogue will be displayed, in which you can checkmark the desired parts.
Geometry->HELiOS
	Only active part Use the Only active part option to save all geometric values (dimensions, weight, etc. ) of the active part as attributes in the HELiOS database. The Active part + sub-parts option does the same for the entire drawing including all sub-parts.
	Active part + sub-parts The Active part + sub-parts option does the same for the entire drawing including all sub-parts.
Others
